Tech Term Tuesday! The dreaded "ransomware"

Ransomware is a type of malicious software (malware) that locks or encrypts your files and demands payment to restore access. Cybercriminals often spread ransomware through phishing emails, malicious links, or infected downloads.

💻 How to Protect Yourself:
✅ Backup your data regularly
✅ Avoid suspicious links & emails
✅ Keep software & antivirus updated
✅ Use strong passwords & multi-factor authentication

🚨 Paying the ransom doesn’t guarantee file recovery! Stay proactive with cybersecurity to avoid becoming a victim.

Tech Term Tuesday! Pen Testing!
Ever wonder how companies keep hackers out? That’s where Pe*******on Testing (aka Pen Testing) comes in! 🚀

Pen testing is a cybersecurity practice where ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks on a system, network, or application to find vulnerabilities before the bad guys do. 🕵️‍♂️💻

Think of it like a security stress test—experts try to break into a system, just like a hacker would, but with permission. The goal? To identify weaknesses, strengthen defenses, and keep data safe. 🔐

From phishing attacks to exploiting software bugs, pen testers use a variety of techniques to uncover risks. If your business handles sensitive data, regular pe*******on testing is a must!
